Looks like you want #22 which is 7.5 amps for the left side front lights. Looks like they all share the same ground G104 through splice S100.

Do your turn signals come on when you turn your headlights on? If so, then I think you need to look at that ground. ETM says it's on inner fender, behind LH headlight. Maybe you knocked it loose when you replaced the bulbs.

Exactly which lights did you replace? Headlights, parking, turn signals? Which lights don't work.

Headlights are all fused separately so if they're all out you have a different problem. Many share grounds so this is why we have to know what lights are out.

Need more data.
